Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976, often called the 'Mini-Constitution', inserted Article 51A and a new Part IV-A into the Constitution of India. This addition introduced the Fundamental Duties of citizens.

  • Swaran Singh Committee: The duties were incorporated based on the recommendations of this committee, which was constituted to suggest changes during the Emergency.
  • Initial Scope: Initially, ten Fundamental Duties were added. An eleventh duty, regarding education for children aged 6-14, was later added by the 86th Amendment Act, 2002.
  • Nature: These duties are non-justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced directly by the courts, but they serve as a moral obligation for citizens.

The 44th Amendment (1978) largely aimed at reversing certain changes made by the 42nd Amendment, while the 85th and 92nd amendments relate to service seniority and official languages, respectively.
